Application filed October 29, 1914. Serial No. 869,260.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, Guy H. HA TER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Abingdon, in the county of VVashingtonand State of'Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churn-Motor- Supporting Devices; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and

exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to churns and more particularly to a motor supporting attachment for ordinary vertically reciprocable dasher churns and the primary object of the invention is the provision of an attach- -m0re fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and claimed.

In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved motor attachment showing thesame applied to a churn, and Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View through a part of the motor.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 designates the ordinary vertical dasher churn which has positioned therein for vertical reciprocation a dasher 2. The dasher 2 has a handle or dasher rod 3 secured thereto which projects upwardly out of the top 4: of the churn.

The attachment for connection to the churn for the vertical reciprocation of the dasher 2 comprises the part which will be hereinafter more fully described.

The attachment 10 has a base board 11 which may be eliminated from forming a part of the attachment if it is so desired an any suitable base may be substituted. The base 11 has detachably secured thereto the main legs 12 and 13 of the supporting structure 14. The legs 12 and 13 have their lower ends provided with receiving grooves 15 which receive the edges of the base board 11 as is clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. The legs 12 and 13 are held securely attached to the base 11 by thumb screws 16. Inclined extending bracing arms or legs 17 are formed upon the'legs 12 and 13 and engage the side edges of the base, as is clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings.

The leg 12 extends upwardly from the base 11 at an angle to the vertical line of the base to a distance equal to or slightly greater than the height of the churn 1 from whence it is bent and extends upwardly being curved intermediate its ends and downwardly for forming a substantially inverted U-shaped supporting bracket 18 which has its side legs parallel with each other and with the dasher arm 3 of the churn. The leg 12 terminates at the lower terminus of one of the vertical legs of the U-shaped bracket 18 and it is bifurcated, having the leg 13 pivotally or hingedly connected thereto as is clearlyshown at 19 in Fig. 1 of the drawings, so as to allow the leg 13 to move laterally from the leg 12 to permit of the removal of the frame comprising the legs 12 and 13 and the bracket 18 from about a churn structure 1.

The bracket 18 has bearings 20 and 21 formed thereupon in alinement with each other and upon the opposite legs thereof, in which bearings is rotatably seated a crank shaft 22 which has a balance wheel 23 mounted on one end and positioned exteriorly of the sides of the bracket 18 and a pinion 24: mounted upon the other end and positioned exteriorly of the sides of the bracket 18. The crank portion 25 of the crank shaft 22 is positioned equi-distant of its end and centrally between the legs of the bracket 18 and has connected thereto a link 26. The link 26 is in turn loosely connected as at 27 to a rod 28 which extends downwardly through a bearing 29 and has a cap 30 mounted upon its lower terminal end for detachable connection with the top end of the churn dasher 3. The bearing 29 is supported by a shaft 31, which is rockably mounted in bearings 32 formed upon the legs of the bracket 18 so as to permit of a limited amount of oscillatory movement of V the rod 28 upon the rotation of the crank shaft 22.

The bracket 18 rotatably supports a gear wheel 33, which meshes with the pinion 24 and has a crank handle 34 connected thereto to provide for the manual rotation of the gear. I

In the operation of the improved churn attachment heretofore described: when the gear 33 is rotated through the actuation of the crank handle 34, the crank shaft 22 is in turn rotated through the meshing engagement between the gear 33 and the pinion 24. I The rotation of the crank shaft 22 will move the, collar 30 attached to the churn 3 and also release the thumb screw 16, move the leg 13 in the lateral manner and detach or :remove the entire supporting structure from about the churn and from connection to the base 11.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings the advantages of construction and of the method of operation of the improved churn Gopies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing Washington, D. G. i

attachment willbe readily apparent to those skilled in the art towhich this invention appertains and, while in the foregoing description, the principle of the operation of this invention has been described together With various features of construction, it is to be understood that certain minor features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts may be altered to suit practical conditions provided such alterations are comprehended within the scope of what is claimed;

What is claimed is In a churn motor supporting device, a supporting base, a supporting structure embodying a pair of upwardly angularly eX- tending legs, a substantially inverted U- shaped bracket formed integrally with one of said legs, the othernof said legs being hingedly connected to said U-shaped bracket, a crank shaft rotatably carried by said bracket, a pinion mounted upon said crank shaft, a gear rotatably carried by said U- shaped bracket and meshing with said pinion for rotating said crank shaft upon ,the rotation of the gear, a link connected to thecrank portion of said crank shaft, and a vertically extending bar connected to said link for vertical reciprocatory movement upon the rotation of said crank shaft.

In testimony whereofI aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses. I GUY H.HA YTER. Witnesses:
